>Description:
      WITHOUT_MODULES is a list that can be set in /etc/make.conf or per build so that the directorys in that list will be removed from the list of directorys to build.  This vastly speeds up kernel compile time by allowing the user to specify to not build certain modules.  It is also useful to cherry pick a certain module and not build it similar to the NO_PF and NO_IPFILTER options.  The NO_PF and NO_IPFILTER options could in theory be removed and set via WITHOUT_MODULES= pf ipfilter
